Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 cup suan cai (Chinese sauerkraut), rinsed and chopped; 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced; 2 green onions, chopped; 2 dried red chilies; 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine); 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon oyster sauce; 1 teaspoon sugar; 4 cups chicken broth; Salt and pepper to taste; Steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the garlic, ginger, green onions, and dried red chilies. Saute for a minute until fragrant.
Return the browned pork to the pot and add the suan cai. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir well to coat the pork and suan cai with the seasonings.
Add the chicken broth to the pot, making sure the pork is submerged. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the pork is tender.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the Suan Cai Pork Stew hot over steamed rice. Garnish with additional chopped green onions, if desired.
